PZU15BA,115

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The PZU15BA,115 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., housed in an SOD-323 (SC-76) surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 320 mW and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 nA at 11 V, a forward voltage of 1.1 V at 100 mA, and a maximum dynamic impedance of 15 Ohms.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation through hard breakdown knee characteristics suitable for general-purpose applications.
• Utilizes a compact SOD-323 plastic package designed for efficient surface-mount assembly.
• Ensures reliable operation across a wide industrial temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '115' corresponds to the standard tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for your automated assembly line. Confirm that the ±5% tolerance aligns with your circuit design constraints, as tighter tolerances require different series variants. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards if operating in regulated regions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 V reference is needed in a minimal footprint SMD form factor. The ±5% tolerance offers a balance between cost and precision for non-critical regulation tasks. Consider the 320 mW power rating against expected thermal conditions in the final enclosure to ensure safe operating margins under continuous load.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia PZUXBA family of general-purpose Zener diodes. These devices are engineered for high-volume consumer and industrial electronics where space efficiency is critical. The SOD-323 package allows for dense PCB layouts while maintaining robust electrical performance for basic voltage clamping and referencing duties.
